Moulton Morris Dance notes

Moulton is a hugely fun tradition, and Knuckles Akimbo is possibly the best Morris Dance in the world. Here are some original notes.

Some secrets are too important to keep secret.

– Julian Assange? No, it was Argy.

Webmaster for The Britannia Morris Men. Been Morris dancing since 1988, and was badged into Britannia in 1989.

Any chance of an indication of how the sticking fits the music? The bar lines in the notes don’t tally with the tunes (as I know them).

So perhaps you could publish the tunes you use with the sticking indicated underneath?

Thanks!

  Simon,
  
  We probably need to find a video for you. We only ever actually dance Knuckle’s Akimbo (Country Garden), though in the distant past we did ‘Girl I left behind me’.

  Regards
  
  Argy.

Great video!

I am amazed at how little was lost in translation when BMM did it.
